Exercise your right to vote.

I just exercised my right, no, my obligation to vote in the 2006 midterm elections by taking advantage of the early voting system here in Florida.

To say that this election is important would be an understatement of immense proportions. Suffice it to say that this is the most important election in my lifetime, which spans 65+ years.

It is not hyperbole to cast this midterm election in a "Custer's Last Stand" light, for the flame of liberty and freedom, as envisioned by The Founders, flickers ever so feebly in the strengthening gale that is the assault on The Constitution and The Bill of Rights by George W. Bush and his republican enablers.

It is past time to bring congressional oversight back to the congress and accountability to George W. Bush for his unabashedly unamerican assault on the foundations of our republic. Foundations that have withstood the rebellion of civil war, two world wars and a cold war that threatened to obliterate us during the last half of the 20th Century.

The time for change is now, it is not too late... yet. On November 7 exercise your right to vote and save our great republic from the neo-fascists of the Bush Regime.

Hastert and the corrupt GOP

What more can one say regarding the morally corrupt thugs that form the House leadership that hasn't been said already?

A measure of the seriousness of the scandal is the fact that they have not a clue as to what to do to make it go away. HINT: Stop using the democrats usual tactic of the circular firing squad.

They cannot do the right thing because it would involve tossing the entire leadership of the house under the bus and what would that do for their chances on November 7? HINT: Republicans are already toast, the only thing they can do is limit just how carbonized they become and the finger pointing, denial and counter accusations currently taking place is not they path they need to take.

This is a scandal that everyone can understand. No political slogans about "Standing up, standing down" or "Staying the course" or "Fight them there, fight them here" to be argued over but the stark fact that one of the senior members of the "values" party has been sexually stalking congressional Pages, male congressional Pages for at least 10 years. The fact that Pages were male is enough to get the steam coming out of the so called Value Voter's ears but the stalking and the subsequent and coninuing, coverup is causing them to rethink their plans for November 7, as well they should.

As I have said before, so called conservative republicans have far sunk lower in the pit of corruption and immorality in twelve years of power then that did democrats after holding the reins of congress for forty years.

Bring back a modicum of decency, competence and yes, morality to the congress and throw the bums out by voting democratic on November 7.

A democratic majority will bring honor, morality and ethics back to the leadership of a congress that has been lacking in such virtues.
